FLEMINGTON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 15, 2005--A new survey revealed that a recent national republican committee commercial titled "Retreat and Defeat is Not an Option," failed to change voter perceptions on President Bush's handling of the war in Iraq.

Regardless of how you usually vote, do you think the Republican Party
or the Democratic Party is more likely to make the right decisions

right decisions; 92% of Republicans indicated their party
would make the right decisions; 46% of Independents believed
the Republican Party would make the right decisions; and 54%
indicated the Democratic Party
a lot more...
